Age Lift: A sixty-something Irons plays Hardy at a time in the latter's life when he was almost half as old. Ramanujan's wife is significantly aged up to a twenty-something.

Shipper on Deck: Andrew Hartley. He has one minute of screentime, but he uses it well by hinting at Hardy's romantic interest in Ramanujan. Twice.

Obnoxious In-Laws: Ramanujan‘s mother is implied to be My Beloved Smother towards Ramanujan and she is also very cold and cruel towards his wife Janaki, even going as far as to intercept and withhold letters that Janaki and Ramanujan sent to each other.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Ramanujan. Dev Patel is way more conventionally attractive than his short and stout historical counterpart.

Homoerotic Subtext: It's heavily suggested that Hardy is gay and falls in love with Ramanujan in the course of the movie.

comment
Adaptational Jerkass: Hardy. The real man was nowhere as demanding and stubborn in his ways as the biopic makes him out to be. He was well aware of and accommodating of Ramanujan's lack of formal Western education, to the point that he treated him more lenient than he otherwise might have done so as not to discourage or disappoint him.

Fish out of Water: When Ramanujan arrives in England he is unfamiliar with most of the customs and the rules of the university.

Ignored Expert: Due to having no formal training, a lack of proofs and racial prejudice, Ramanujan’s works are dismissed by most of the professors, with the exception of Hardy and Littlewood.
